Top-Down Shooter Game Template

This is a complete top-down shooter game template built with Python and Pygame, perfect for developers looking to create their own action-packed zombie survival game. The template provides a robust foundation with core mechanics, including:

• Player Controls: Move with WASD, aim with the mouse, shoot with left-click, and toggle auto-fire with right-click. Switch weapons with number keys (1-7) and cycle weapons with the mouse wheel.
• Weapon System: Features multiple weapon categories (Pistols, SMGs, Rifles, Shotguns, etc.) with customizable stats like damage, fire rate, ammo, and penetration. Unlock new weapons via chests or upgrades.
• Zombie AI: Enemies use A* pathfinding to pursue the player, with collision avoidance and varied stats (health, speed) across 11 zombie classes.
• Wave-Based Gameplay: Survive increasingly difficult waves of zombies, with randomized spawning and wave progression.
• Upgrade System: Level up by collecting XP orbs from defeated zombies and choose from upgrades like increased health, bullet speed, or fire rate.
• Visual & Audio Effects: Includes muzzle flashes, blood particles, floating damage text, and sound effects for shooting, reloading, and zombie groans.
• Camera & UI: Smooth camera follows the player, with health bars, XP progress, and ammo display. Customizable fonts and a splash screen are included.
• Game States: Supports main menu, pause, how-to-play, and credits screens for a polished experience.

Features:

• Modular code structure for easy customization.
• Pre-built assets (player, zombie, chest, orb images, and sound effects).
• Configurable constants for tweaking gameplay (e.g., player speed, zombie spawn rates).
• Restart system for replayability.

Requirements:

• Python 3.x
• Pygame library
